Oh my gosh!! Im so sorry guys....theres something wrong with my computer...i want to delete the extra comment...but i dont know how... im really sorry
Tengku Sharizal is not yet assured a place in Contender Asia Season 2, like we had expected. In trying to make head and tails of it, I found a comment made by Zahari Ahmad of http://boxxtomoi.blogspot.com. Below is a related extract of his comment:-
<< it was a great match up by WMC. But it was a misleading info given to Malaysian. Malaysian should be informed earlier that the winner of last Saturday’s fight will have to go through other qualifiers before they can earn a spot in CONTENDER SEASON 2. Anyway, season 2 will not materialize in 2008.
The discussion to organize Malaysia qualifier was done way back in January 2008 when I visited mr. Stephan Fox in Bangkok. It was agreed upon that the tournament will be held in august but he made it clear that the winner will have to go through qualifiers and we don’t know how many more qualifier that our champion has to fight before he earn a place in season 2.
On the Super 4, Stephan called me and asked me to let Mandate organize the Super 4 with me selecting the boxers. And I agreed under the spirit of Muay Thai. I chose 3 boxers: Hashim, Tengku and Khoo. The other one ( Bernard " Headhunter" Radin ) was included by the request of Mandate from Singapore (the organizer). >>
lol politics.... poor guy...
Oh my gosh!! Im so sorry guys....theres something wrong with my computer...i want to delete the extra comment...but i dont know how... im really sorry
yea...poor guy...I know its nothing to do with Muay Thai..But, you guys think im a guy? well actuall my name is Shafenaz you can call me Naz if you like..hahaha its not that im angry or what but its funny...lol

Thanks Grake. My guess he didnt come out for the 3rd round,huh?
Leonard is really aggressive,imposing his will. But Zach did pretty good to knock him down twice.
Did the announcer really say "NO HOLDS BARRED" or did i hear wrong? I LOL'ed!
Kinda outta topic but just watched K1 Max via streaming..a holy shit moment. Im still in shock!
Agree with FightGeek; Leonardo was really aggressive but Zach didn't take it lying down. Glad the ref called it, he could have been hurt really bad! Here are some great shots taken from Galvin Tan.
Hey Grake, thanks bro, but I think u posted twice the first round
Wow!!! thanks guys for the pics, awesome shots!!!!!
Was at the fight. Really good stuff - particularly impressed with the Sean Wright vs. Sirichai "Singha Siri" bout. Thought that Sirichai gave an excellent showcase of Muay Thai knees and high kicks. And Yoddy is actually around my height :) -->Really inspirational if you're one of those wannabes like me.
Even managed to meet almost all the guys and took photos with them after the fight. Would you believe that they all seem very decent and down to earth.
But somebody should tell the organiser to tell us who is the defending champion (and who is the challenger for the title) before the bout starts. Thought the defending champion will wear the belt into the ring..
For those who missed the fight, you'll get to watch the delayed telecast on ASTRO SUPERSPORTS in August! Mandate International will be organising THE CONTENDER ASIA SUPERFIGHTS GRAND PRIX in December 2008.
Cool Supersports!! lucky i have that channel...Alright!! im definitely not gonna miss that...
I've heard he's a really, really nice guy.
Yep, he's pretty good... maybe we'll see him is Season 2?!?!?
does anyone know who might represent thailand in season 2?
When does season 2 start?
Cant Wait !
i got in to muay thai from watching this stuff. lol
hehe, next year probably.
Representing Thailand will be Kaewm Fairtex as Yodsaenklai tell me.TCA Season 2 will be in either late nov or early Dec but as for shooting wise not sure whether it will be in Spore again or in Thailand.Looking forward for Season 2....THE CHALLENGE IS GOING TO GETS TOUGH!!!!!!
Isn't him too light? He fights in 58 kgs - 60 kgs range, as stated on the fairtex website.... Kaoklai too heavy....
I myself think so too but do not jugde a book by its cover.I watch him in fight with a match and guess wat he knocked down a fighter from Lanna camp who weighs 70kg.I WAS AMAZED juz 4 round less than 2 minutes.But i think in this TCA 2 the selection will be tough as more countries involved including Japan and Hong Kong.Well the CHALLENGE GOING TO GETS TOUGH......
Guys I really need to know when is the time, date begin of the Contender Asia 2. These is my 1st favorate program.
We too...
ok Guys................Currently THE CONTENDER (US ONLY) already started in Spore now...n they r doing the filming....so as for the season 2 THE CONTENDER ASIA will only start next year Feb in Msia mostly in Kuala Lumpur n Selangor.All this info i get from one of the participant who is here in Spore for the match.It was cool talking to him but i never heard of him before and hi name id Rodriguez Hernandez from Mexico.
Tengku sharizal
Tengku Sharizal ( Malaysia ) has NOT YET confirm his place in Contender Asia Season 2 despite emerging victorious in " Malaysia muay thai superfights".
He will have to go through yet other qualifiers before earning a spot in CONTENDER SEASON 2; i.e. which is why I have not included him in the list....( sorry, easyboy )
Bernard Radin, however has recently confirmed his Contender spot through an International Qualifier in the King’s Cup event held in honour of His Majesty the King of Thailand’s birthday.
repeat post, sorry.
